A couple of harbour pics from a recent trip amongst the rocks of Morayshire, Scotland.
My first postings for a while...been too busy, too preoccupied!
Make a diary note; must try harder to take pics!

hey I was wondering where you had got to! great shot as always, love the stones in the first shot. just a thought, what about cropping off the top with the white fence and the car, and making it B/W?

Hi Nick,
I was just thinking the same about the crop part...
And the B&W? I'll maybe give it a whirl!
Thanks,
Andy

Andy,

Welcome back, I'd missed your super landscape photo's, but judging by these two, the wait was worth it

Photo #1 is excellent, perhaps a grainy B&W version?

Nice to see you back with your top notch photography Andy. Love the stone work in both photographs. Are there any builders still out there that can do stonework like this? I wonder...

I'm stone crazy too , nice shots.

Welcome back Andy! I agree with Nick. The first photo would be much better with cropped out the upper part.

Thanks for the motivating comments guys!
Here are a few more from the same visit. These harbours are amazing in the way that they provide the only safe place to get a boat ashore along this very rocky and exposed northern coast.One could imagine them on a dark winter night with a storm blowing and the brave fisherman steering the course through the narrowest of gaps, under sail, to be home once again with their families. Many, many did not get it quite right, and pershished.
These harbours are monuments to their courage and enormous skill.

Andy, I like the last image, I feel its an improvement, the stone work is amazing, looks like it will last an eon.
Great to see you back and posting again!
